Before and after: Northcote house doubles in value after several impressive additions

An extensive renovation has more than doubled the value of this property in Northcote.

A NORTHCOTE number has doubled in value in just five years, after an impressive renovation turned the property a modern family classic.

The four bedroom property at 150 Beaconsfield Parade sold for a whopping $1.7 million last weekend, with the auction attracting close to 70 people.

The property’s price has more than doubled since 2013, when it sold for $790,000.

A full renovation modernised 150 Beaconsfield Parade in Northcote and doubled the home’s value.

Jellis Craig agent Peter Egan said the property’s value could be attributed to a full renovation which included an extension out the back.

The California bungalow was cleverly renovated to extend the entertainment space by adding a backyard deck. Previous owners also knocked down a detached studio and added an extra bedroom to the main property.

“There was good interest in this property from day one with a number of young families looking at it,” he said.

Mr Egan said the home, which had a reserve price of $1.6 million, came down to two bidders last Saturday and was snapped up by a young family.

Northcote’s median house price increased by 72.5 per cent between the property being sold in 2013 and 2018, CoreLogic data shows.
